Sam, my 8-year-old son, told me to pick Tom Brady in the second round of this year’s draft. He knows more about Hannah Montana than Joe Montana, or so I thought. Good thing I listened. He knows more about fantasy football than his old man.

It’s the halfway point of the season and time to look at the best and worst of the first half.

Two bad defenses go head to head in this game. Browns QB Derek Anderson should add to his TD total in this one; for the Rams, RB Steven Jackson could return to action and just in time. Playing the Browns’ defense is one way to get healthy. Start any Cleveland or St. Louis wide receiver that you have on your roster.

Mailbag

How high would you draft Adrian Peterson next season, and why?

“I assume that Adrian Peterson would be a mid-first round draft pick unless Chester Taylor gets traded or released, and then I believe he could be top 5,” e-mailed Tim Connors of Freeport.

“He is a keeper unless you have Tom Brady or one of the top quarterbacks,” e-mailed Jerry Temple of Belvidere. “This year has shown that QBs and WRs are more valuable because of the shared carries for running backs.”

“He will be gone by the 8th pick (at the latest) especially if he flashes more cartoonish numbers like those he dropped on the Bears,” e-mailed Tim Scholten of Rockton.
